STANDING RIGGING LIST

A New Rig for "Wildwood Flower" (Feb 1997)

Since I was taking down both masts for re-finishing and repairs, I decided
to replace the standing rigging. The following tables summarizes the
measurments that were taken before placing the order for the new
wires.

Since many of these measurements may be very dependent on a particular
hull and spar configuration, this data should be useful in making estimates
for re-rigging another Island Trader. This data should not be considered
definitive or applicable to any hull other than "Wildwood Flower".
